You were going to have try harder than that to shake off Edward Elric. "I'm helping, damnit!"

Which meant that the teenager was going to have try harder to shake off this Edward Elric.

"I never encountered a homunculus from your world before, but I've fought them in mine and they're not something one person can really stand up against!"

There was also the whole thing where Sloth had turned her body to water, and while the adult knew how to handle that, the teenager didn't know he did.
